True story: Despite being 0-8, Akron is mathematically alive for a bowl bid due to the fact that they can still win the MAC (which would override their losing record as per the precedent set by North Texas in 2001).

For starters, they'd have to go 4-0 to stand even a remote chance of winning their division, what with the co-leaders yet to play each other. Luckily, Akron still has to play both of them as well so they'd definitely get the tiebreakers at 4-4. From there it's a pretty straight shot--Kent State has enough games left against the opposite division that they could win their lone remaining divisional game and still wind up 3-5 in conference, and if they do so, Buffalo would only need to not win any cross-division games to also end up 3-5.

I mean, obviously this isn't going to happen. But it's still hilarious that an 0-8 team is still mathematically alive to win their division, and as such, could wind up as a 5-8 conference champion.

Man, what a train wreck the MAC is this year, especially the East.
